Making Lemons Into Lemonade

1. Lemons are sour. 2. Lemonade is sweet. To make lemonade out of lemons is to take something that is not so great and turn it into something good. A very common phrase is as follows: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I have always loved the saying Making Lemons into Lemonade. We have the power to choose the way our lives are going in many ways. Life is a Journey! We all have our own journey to walk and our own story to share along the way! What a better world it would be if we slowed down on our Journey…slowed our speed at which we are traveling through life. In this fast paced life as I stop and slowdown I am almost brought to chills as I take a moment, usually in my car, when I am alone and sit still, I notice that I am able to stop my worries , stop my many thoughts and live in the moment. I notice the cars whizzing by and think I need to slow down and take this Journey one day at a time. Time to heal me, time to help others, time to enjoy this space we are all sharing. This blog is a space to write down my feelings, insights, thoughts and advice on life and I am sure much more as it develops. I believe that we can heal ourselves and heal each other by sharing our stories along the way and by stopping and living in the moment. Taking time to notice that stranger who needs a smile or letting someone in your lane when you are in a hurry, holding the door open for the person behind you, being a listening ear to the person checking you out at the store. I believe and have seen that these and many more kind deeds go a long way. These simple acts and kind deeds really are the big things in life and maybe even changes a life in turn. I hope that this is a space that you can come to for inspiration, healing, help, love and laughter. A space to share your story and realize there is joy to be had in this journey if we can but learn to turn those lemons into lemonade.
